Organisational structure Climate Alliance’s numerous member cities, towns and districts, spread across Europe, form the core of our network and National Coordination Offices in a number of countries help support Climate Alliance members in their localities. The European Secretariat headquarters in Frankfurt stands as the operative and administrative coordinating body for the network and is the seat of the German National Coordination Office. A special extension of the European Secretariat in Brussels is dedicated both to lobby work and keeping pace with EU political happenings of special relevance for member municipalities. At Climate Alliance’s helm sits an Executive Board composed of municipal officials and a representative of COICA, the umbrella organisation for the indigenous of Amazonia.

Description

Description For more than 25 years, Climate Alliance member municipalities have been acting in partnership with indigenous rainforest peoples for the benefit of the global climate. With some 1,700 members spread across 26 European countries, Climate Alliance is the world’s largest city network dedicated to climate action and the only one to set tangible targets: each member city, town and district has committed itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent every 5 years. Recognising the impact our lifestyles can have on the world's most vulnerable people and places, Climate Alliance pairs local action with global responsibility.
Objectives The member cities and municipalities of the Climate Alliance are committed to:

- reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 10% every 5 years - a halving of per capita emissions by 2030 from 1990 levels. - fighting for climate justice in cooperation with indigenous rainforest peoples. - protecting tropical rain forests and their biological diversity Commitment: Member cities and municipalities are committed to: - reduce CO2 emissions by 10% every five years; - to halve per capita emissions by 2030 at the latest (from a 1990 baseline); - aim at sustainable level of 2.5t CO2-eq per capita through energy saving, energy efficiency, use of renewable energy sources

Activities The network fosters cooperation with indigenous peoples, runs awareness raising campaigns and develops tools for climate action planning. It provides ample opportunity for participation and exchange while representing member interests at the national, European and international levels.
